Hawty McBloggy : August in Review

A summary of last month’s statistics for those readers that enjoy this sort of stuff. How much do stats really matter anyways? Ever since the last rank reset, I haven’t actively worked on my numbers at all. Once Rumble Pit became training only, all motivation was lost. Not that my ranks were anything spectacular before the reset. I wish they had a medal for camping.

Biggest Personal News :

I had a complete and utter blast attending PAX 2007. The whole event was mind blowing. I met so many amazing people, saw so many amazing titles, played so many amazing games, had so many amazing experiences. Thank you to everybody that was a part of that experience, whether it was friends that I hung out with, new people I had the pleasure of meeting, or all the kind people who worked behind the scenes to pull this event off. Read about some of my experiences here :

August turned out to be all about the Top 10 Halo Pick-Up Lines. Who knew something that was created one Sunday afternoon because I was bored would become what it did? People got such a kick out of it, which made me happy because I had so much fun writing them. I came up with the idea then just sat there thinking about all the weapons, all the maps, all the things the announcer says, just everything I could think of that I could relate to hitting on someone. I’m not sure my blog will see another month like this! It was quite a ride. Thank you for another wonderful month. I have enjoyed every second of writing here and getting to know all of you. On to September.
